True only if the end-product is better in some way. A gourmet meal is better than Chipotle. A handmade leather bag is better than the Temu version. In software, it's harder to make out the difference; of course, better UX, faster APIs etc. can all affect the end-user experience. But who is to say that AI-generated code can't do all of that (and more!)?
Bummer that all the postgres serverless providers are getting acquired. First Neon, now this. Hope the innovation and competitive pricing continues!
Hope they don't increase the price!!
Transactional email service.
S3 backed object storage (too risky to use anything else or even learn anything else for it).
Scale to 0 services. Might mean less money for Render but would be awesome. Gets a lot of side projects hosted on fly because if it.
Partnership with Neon would be great too, I run 6 dbs there for $69 with auto scaling (and scales to 0 too if needed for non-prod envs). Render would be 3-4x that price for those many dbs.
Perplexity has some competition!

ok possibly not alone, maybe the issues happened before I started using them extensively. I've had ~no downtime that affects me in 7 months.
I do wish they had some features I need, but their support and responses are top notch. And I've lost much less hair and time than I would going full-blown AWS or another cloud provider.
Been on it 7 months, 0 issues. Feel like you're alone on this potentially.
It seems to be a non-issue to me. From my attorney a few months back:
"We follow the practice of major law firms in the venture space and do not include a spousal consent for the 83(b) election in community property states. We also confirmed with our tax counsel, and they confirmed our approach is advisable."
No one should lose sleep over it. Spouse didn't sign off on a $500 payment to buy restricted stock (early startup stock), so IRS will come down heavily on you for material harm --- will not stand in court!
My 2 cents anyway based on legal advice received.
NOT loving the excessive vibrations on the phone. It increases my anxiety somehow... I'd remove it honestly or make it 10% of what it is in certain cases only.
I might be alone in this, but we've been trained for vibrations to mean something. Vibrating the phone on every line or response from ChatGPT seems excessive to me (and a battery drain as well!).
Looks promising for sure! I know its hard to fund etc. but it'd be nice if truly 100% open-source options existed! Even the ones that are open-source, then have pricing for SSO etc. which is disappointing. I see the same in the headless CMS space where tools like Strapi, make it very hard to adopt without paying $$$.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Remove!
I could related to this person and article a lot. I've had similar thoughts, give up the tech job craziness and go drive Uber for a few months and not have to c check email and slack 24/7!
We've been adopting Coda and liking it. Search is a weak point in it as well. But the main issue for us is the permissions hell and total lack of flexibility :-(
Other than that, a much more manageable product, has external integrations, automations etc. built in that even a non-technical or non-power-user can enjoy and use.
Great read and explains the concepts and some of the web3 craziness so elegantly. Well done!
would one do it in the custom db router itself instead?
ironic indeed...took me a few seconds to read the white text on a yellow banner at the top why I couldn't create a db!
I find it fascinating that we continue to call them CMS's and hence shoebox them into competing with Wordpress etc. when I feel there is a broader category of DMS (data management systems) where the end user needs flexibility to store their data. I know notion and others are potentially filling that nice as well coming from a "replace wiki" or knowledge management perspective.

I love one medical and will not bother with anything else in the US if I can help it. They accept insurance, appointments start on time, it’s a paperless experience, I can get same day appointments. What else can one want? The doctors have great table side manners and are always professional. I have had 0 bad experiences and I hope they have a great stock market debut!
A company that makes money? How boring. Yawn...
And a 30-40 minute install!
You got that right. Its side projects like this at Google that get shut down every year there is product roadmap cleanup!
